Whereas, education leads to the realization of human potential through the
acquisition of knowledge and the development
of disciplin e and skills; and
Whereas, the material rewards which come to
the individual with sound training are transcended by
the benefits to the Nation of the competenc
e, maturity and social responsibility
gained thereby; and
Whereas, scientific and technological breakthroughs, while
opening new vistas for m ankind, are creating unforseen
stresses on the educational system;
and
Whereas, within the State of Delaware there are flexible and varied educational
opportunities on every level from that
of the preschool child to that of the senior citiz
e n, the major emphasis falls on th
e training of the young men and
wo men up on whose shoulders will
rest the responsibilities and decisions of
the future;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Russell W. Peterson, Governor of the
State of Delaware, do hereby proclaim the week of October 25-31, 1970, as
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
in Delaware, and urge the residents of the First State to acquaint themselves
with both the advances and the problems of modern education and to encourage and support
those who have chosen as their careers the education
of others.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, Russell W. Peterson, Governor of the State
of Delawar e, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the Great Seal of the said
State to be hereunto affixed at Dover this seventeenth
day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and seventy, and of the Independence of the
United States of America, the one hundred
and ninety-fifth.
